"A Maine woman, who takes pleas
ure in her poultry, has adopted sin
gle but excellent method of keeping her
chickens at home. She ties small corn
cob to one leg, allowing it to dangle at
distance of about six inches. The
fowl can scratch and get about with
ease, but, it is said, will not attempt to
fly over palings OF squeeze through a
crack.

whites of the eggs, stirring rapidly for
a few minutes. then add the gelatine
and teaspoonful of some favoring
extract. pour into a pretty shaped dish
to harden. When ready to serve, turn

"A good many farmers have the
idea that milk is not just right for pigs
until it is soured. This is very seri-
Gus mistake. No possible good can
come from souring it, but very serious
harm. After you take out the cream
and the water the most that remains is
caseine and sugar of milk. Both are
valuable. But when you sour it you
change the sugar of milk into Tactic
acid, and lose nearly half the entire
value of your milk. Feed milk sweet
to calves and pigs and colts. Never lei
it sour if you can help it. Why will
you throw away half its valueP-Honae-
